PPC: Don't restrict lvsl generation to after type legalization
This is a re-commit of r190764, with an extra check to make sure that we're not
performing the transformation on illegal types (a small test case has been
added for this as well).
Original commit message:
The PPC backend uses a target-specific DAG combine to turn unaligned Altivec
loads into a permutation-based sequence when possible. Unfortunately, the
target-specific DAG combine is not always called on all loads of interest
(sometimes the routines in DAGCombine call CombineTo such that the new node and
users are not added to the worklist); allowing the combine to trigger early
(before type legalization) mitigates this problem. Because the autovectorizers
only create legal vector types, I don't expect a lot of cases where this
optimization is enabled by type legalization in practice.
